We MADE it! 17 weeks and 3 days and both babies have healthy heartbeats. One was 148 and the other 153! We were scheduled for just a regular check in and we were lucky enough to get an ultrasound, because, well, twins. We were a couple minutes early with no one before us with an ultrasound appointment. I asked very nicely if finding out genders could be in the plan and the ultrasound tech was more than willing to try. And she tried and tried and tried. I laughed at first because she was shaking those babies up trying to get them to show off. My laughed trailed off as I began feeling like a punching bag. She tried. They both kept those legs closed tight. She almost thought she knew for baby A but couldn't be sure. She actually claimed one gender, then the other, then didn't know, then back to the first guess. Baby B was not having it. No cooperation. So basically, we are right where we were.We have zero confidence in the guesses. I asked if it was because there were two and she said, they aren't big enough to run into each other... it was just them not playing along. Ugh.
The relief from hearing that all looks good and hearing those heartbeats is indescribable though.
So to find out genders, we wait. We have an hour booked at the next appointment for the anatomy scan. So an hour to poke and prod and refuse to take 'no' for an answer!
We started getting ready anyway. The "brown" guest room is now green. The crib has been reassembled. The dresser that was once brown is now white. We are just getting started. All with Lucy's help of course, although she still has no idea. We've got plenty of time for that. <3
